SERVES

Ingredients

tbsp vegetable oil, plus 1 extra teaspoon 

250g (1/2 lb) beef mince (ground beef) 

1 onion, sliced  

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped  

1 long red chilli, finely chopped  

½ tsp shrimp paste 

beef stock cube, crumbled 

4 cups cooked rice  

tbsp soy sauce  

2 tsp kecap manis or sweet dark soy sauce 

¼ cup fried shallots  

sliced cucumber, to serve 

sliced tomato, to serve 

sambal oelek*, to serve 

Steps
  • Step 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add the beef and sear for 4-5 minutes to develop a deep crust. Then flip, break up and stir-fry until almost cooked.

  • Step 2

    Add the onion and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the onion has softened. Then add in the garlic and chilli and stir-fry for another few seconds.

  • Step 3

    Move the ingredients to the side and add the extra teaspoon of oil. Then add the shrimp paste and move it around in the oil to dissolve it a little before mixing it through the remaining ingredients. Stir through the crumbled beef stock cube. Add the rice, soy sauce and kecap manis. Stir-fry until well combined. Remove from heat and divide among serving bowls.

  • Step 4

    Sprinkle over the fried shallots. Serve with cucumber, tomato and sambal oelek.

  • Notes
    Notes:

    – Sambal oelek is a chilli paste that can be found in the Asian aisle at most supermarkets or from an Asian grocery store.
